The AI Barometer is an analysis of the most pressing opportunities, risks and governance challenges associated with artificial intelligence (AI) and data use, initially across five key UK sectors. Over 100 experts took part in workshops and scoring exercises to produce a community-informed view of these factors. These outputs will inform the work of the CDEI and our advice to the UK government on its policy priorities.

The ambition of the AI Barometer is to provide a much-needed system-wide view of how AI and data is being used across the UK. Having a broad view of the landscape allows us to understand where common challenges are being experienced, and how different contexts drive how beneficial or harmful AI use might be. In a highly interconnected world, it also helps us know how technological, policy and regulatory developments in one sector may influence others.
